Hygienic sanitary napkin incinerator
Sanico lets women dispose of used sanitary napkins safely and privately inside the washroom, so they are not wrapped and thrown into dustbins, toilets or open ground.
The challenge
No girl should miss school because of her period
Our answer: Sanico disposes of used napkins safely inside the washroom, and pairs with Dovey vending machines.

Testimonials
What our clients say
“Disposal of sanitary napkins was previously a major hygiene and plumbing problem in our girls’ washrooms, causing frequent drain chokings and absenteeism during menstrual cycles. The Sanico incinerator solved this. It is wall-mounted, safe and destroys pads within minutes without any visible smoke on campus. Our students feel dignified and supported.”
Principal, Girls’ High School & Junior College
“Maintaining workplace hygiene across five office floors with a large number of women employees required a discreet, odour-free solution. Sanico has been a seamless addition to our washrooms. Housekeeping no longer handles contaminated waste bins manually.”
Facility & Admin Manager, Tech Park
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Sanico Sanitary Napkin Incinerator
Where should a sanitary napkin incinerator be installed?
Inside or right next to the women’s washroom, with a flue pipe routed outside. It works best alongside a Dovey vending machine so women can get and dispose of napkins in one place.
Which Sanico model should we choose?
Sanico comes in two sizes, Sanico 7 and Sanico 15. Smaller washrooms and offices usually choose Sanico 7; schools, hostels and public toilets with heavier use choose Sanico 15.
Why not just use a dustbin?
Napkins in dustbins have to be handled by cleaning staff and often end up flushed or dumped, blocking drains and spreading infection. On-site incineration removes that risk.
Can schools get Sanico funded through CSR?
Yes. Napkin incinerators in schools qualify under Schedule VII for health and sanitation, gender equality and education. We prepare combined Dovey and Sanico CSR proposals.
